04 Car Registration plate

ok, first!

I saw a new shape Citreon C2 with the 04 plate at 8.15am this morning!...either the car place opened their doors early or someone's been cheating! :pp

Anyone else yet! I was amazed casue it usually takes at least a day before seeing a new plate, today it was within 5 mins of leaving the house!

I once picked up a new car at midnight. Pulled in about 00.15 at a busy City centre filling station by way of a pose. The cashier was suitably impressed, until it was noticed that whilst the car was valid by a few minutes, my credit card was not.........

No, they deliver it for you on trade plates. You just not allowed to take it on the road with the real plates.

Pardon me, but I watched them drive it off and return 15 mins later, deffo no trade plates on display. Perhaps as well that no picky or jealous, "bizzies" (scouse) where around.

By not allowed i meant its not legal. Doesnt stop people actually doing it. Im sure they wont keep to all the speed limits either!
